OpenAI announced the launch of ChatGPT Health and selected b.well Connected Health (Capita3 Fund I) as the underlying health data connectivity infrastructure. ChatGPT Health will enable secure access to medical records for AI-driven health interactions. This partnership positions b.well as the foundational infrastructure for one of the world's most widely-used AI platforms, with over 800 million weekly ChatGPT users and 230 million asking health questions each week.

b.well CEO Kristen Valdes:

 

“We know patients are already using ChatGPT for health information and advice. Allowing patients to securely and privately integrate their own health data will make those interactions much more contextually relevant and accurate,” said Kristen Valdes, CEO and Founder of b.well. “b.well was built to make healthcare simpler for consumers and their families. We’re excited that this collaboration meets consumers where they are — talking to ChatGPT — and brings more personalized interactions so they can better engage in their health and well-being.”

OpenAI VP of Health Products Ashley Alexander:

 

"One of the most common and meaningful ways people use ChatGPT today is for health and wellness information," said Ashley Alexander, VP of Health Products, OpenAI. "By working with trusted brands like b.well, we're able to make the user experience even more useful and personalized."

 

The Scale of This Partnership:

  • 800M+ weekly ChatGPT users
  • 230M people asking health questions weekly
  • 2.2M+ providers in b.well's network
  • 320+ health plans, labs, and sources connected
  • 40M daily users turning to ChatGPT for health queries

Why This Matters:

 

Strategic Validation

This partnership validates the B2B health infrastructure business model where major technology platforms rely on proven interoperability networks rather than building healthcare connectivity from scratch.

 

Competitive Positioning

b.well now powers health data connectivity for:

  • OpenAI (ChatGPT Health) - announced Jan 7, 2026
  • Google - partnership announced Oct 2025
  • Samsung - partnership announced Oct 2023
  • Multiple other major technology leaders

 

Technology Leadership

OpenAI is leveraging b.well's SDK for Health AI, which transforms connected health data into AI-optimized inputs spanning:

  • Structured clinical data (labs, vitals, medications)
  • Unstructured data (clinical notes, discharge summaries, diagnostic interpretations)
  • Real-time delivery optimized for performance and cost efficiency
